HuffPost's hate mail

[amenx]

I guess HP is the most reviled news/opinion website by Trump supporters. As French philospher Jean-Jaques Rousseau observed, "A drunk mind speaks a sober heart". Apparently so does anonymity.

Must be a bit scary for them after the Capital Gazette shootings.

Unfortunately I bet stuff like this occurs to almost all major news outlets daily. Especially ones that are seen to skew to one end of the political spectrum or another.

It has to, right? I mean what kind of bubble would you have to create for yourself to think otherwise? Naturally if one side is bad then, of course, the other side must be bad as well. Could you imagine, if both sides weren't equal, what kind of mind fuck that would do to someone? Shit, they might have to re examine oneself and really look at what their side has become.

It may, just not in the same way. I'll bet all the racist, xenophobic comments are overwhelmingly from the far right and directed against liberals, their views and news sites.

I’m sure Fox News gets its share of this shit too, and especially Breitbart. As far as racist comments it’s become so common to lambast whites over their skin color that no one really bats an eye anymore at this point.

Hmm... would like to see it. They might get hate mail but I would definitely like to see it and what its about.

Yes, white people are sooo oppressed... by other white people pointing out that we do seem to have something called privilege.

Does hate speech require oppression?

Obfuscate more. Why would anybody use hate speech other than to establish the means to oppress the hated?

To get other people to hate them as well. Marketing my friend, it makes the world go round.
